His Footprints, My Heart...

Today would have been my mom's 58th birthday. This and mother's day coming up this Sunday (which also happens to be my dad's 59th birthday... happy birthday daddy!) has had me thinking about her alot lately, missing her so very much. There's a song by MercyMe entitled "Homesick" that I've heard alot recently and it always reminds me of my mom, my best friend. I put the lyrics here for you.

Mom, this is dedicated to you... Happy Birthday! I love you and miss you so much. You will always be my very best friend. See you when I get home!



Homesick - MercyMe


You're in a better place, I've heard a thousand times
And at least a thousand times I've rejoiced for you
But the reason why I'm broken, the reason why I cry
Is how long must I wait to be with you

I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now

Help me Lord cause I don't understand your ways
The reason why I wonder if I'll ever know
But, even if you showed me, the hurt would be the same
Cause I'm still here so far away from home

I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now

In Christ, there are no goodbye
And in Christ, there is no end
So I'll hold onto Jesus with all that I have
To see you again
To see you again

And I close my eyes and I see your face

If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now

That is the best song, I hope it comforts you.

I wish there was a way to give a hug via these comments...

I feel the same way about my dad, and "Homesick" does for me what it does for you: reminds me of him. I miss him. He taught me a lot. Loyalty--that's the most lasting thing he taught me. And perseverance.

Cry your tears, Cindy. They will fall to the ground, where flowers will spring up in God's time.
